GREASE EDITION
(That’s me singing Sandra Dee!)
I am tired, you guys. I’ve run the full show 9 times in 8 days. I have danced Hand Jive 100 zillion times. I am dead. I have to pack/move next week. Here are photos.

Rizz, Checking In
MID-WEEK HELLOS!
Hey, loves! It’s Wednesday, which means I’m halfway through Tech/Hell Week.
And guess what? I’m still alive!
A Weekend Photo Recap
AND SO IT BEGINS!
This weekend kicked off what will be an intense tech week. Saturday and Sunday totaled 16 hours of Grease rehearsal. I visited a farmers’ market. I also squeaked in some miles and yummy meals (bonus: a delicious vegan risotto recipe!). And the man kicked ass in the Leadville Silver Rush 50-miler.
I’ve been and will be very busy until opening night this Friday (and four performances this weekend), so I leave you with: lots of pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Look at Me! I’m Out of My Comfort Zone
PLAYING RIZZO IN GREASE
This is going to be such an opportunity for growth in my musical theater career for multiple reasons. Rizzo has to:
- be a memorable, hardass-turned-vulnerable character
- belt the brazen “Sandra Dee,” and croon the sultry “Worse Things I Could Do”
- hold herself like she knows she’s sexy
- get in physical altercations with Sandy and Kenickie
- be the polar opposite of Sandy
- dance like she knows how
I’m still stuck in ingenue mode—and classically trained opera-singing mode—so this ballsy, belty high-school-smoker thing is completely out of my comfort zone.
But that’s where all the FUN is!
